Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Demo Dated and Trailer

See how Raiden shows off his skills in fast-paced fights with his high-frequency katana blade and the ZanDatsu cut mechanic

Konami Digital Entertainment has unveiled that a playable demo for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, an action title produced by Kojima Productions and developed by Platinum Games for Xbox 360 and PS3, will be launched on January 23rd, 2013. The three-stage demo will offer users a chance to experience the sheer level of control the game's Zan-Datsu combat system offers. In Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, the player has total control of the main character - the cybernetically-enhanced Raiden from Metal Gear Rising 4: Guns of the Patriots - and a total freedom of how users control him. As such, the game title has been subtly rebranded to reflect the more action-based content than in previous Metal Gear Solid titles.Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance will be available in North America and South America on February 19th, 2013 - a new gameplay movie is now locally mirrored.
